    RPK build from hell DONE!! UPDATE; BOLT ACTION

    Finally this build is done. It was a nightmare building this thing. If one more thing went wrong, I was going to get rid of it. went through 3 receivers, head spacing was a headache, drilling the gas port was a PIA, spot welding the rails was a b!tch, top rails needed a little a little trimming, and working with that bulged front trunnion was just a nightmare. In the end, everything ended up great. Final out come, well pictures should speak for themselves. Really happy with it, can't wait to shoot it.

      Very nice the RPKs are a beast! Nice job, the heavier receiver can be more difficult but they are tanks when done, enjoy.

            Nice.

            They are extremely accurate with that long barrel, even with irons.

                Nice work. I remember drilling the gas port took longer. Great rifle.

                              Yup, the first was totally my screw up, second, didn't like the way the rear trunnion holes were. Third came out just the way I wanted it.
